I hold a degree in Medicine and Surgery from the Universitat de Barcelona and completed my medical residency in Pediatrics and its Specific Areas at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital. I undertook a fellowship in Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona and completed my training with a fellowship in new drug development at Gustave Roussy, an internationally renowned center for pediatric cancer treatment.

Since 2017, I have worked as a Consultant in the Pediatric Oncology Department at Vall d’Hebron Hospital. I am currently responsible for pediatric soft tissue sarcomas, pediatric liver tumors, and pediatric precision medicine. I am also part of the Childhood Cancer Research Group at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), where I actively participate in the Sarcoma Laboratory and the Personalized Medicine Program.

I serve as the National Coordinator in Spain for the clinical trial FaR-RMS for newly diagnosed and relapsed patients, developed by the European Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Group (EpSSG). I lead the Soft Tissue Sarcoma Working Group of the Sociedad Española de Hematología y Oncología Pediátricas (SEHOP) and am an active member of the EpSSG Phase I/II Committee.

I am also part of SEHOP’s Personalized Medicine Working Group and a member of the European consortium Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC). I participate as a co-investigator in major personalized medicine projects, such as the European program MAPPYACTS (MoleculAr Profiling for Pediatric and Young Adult Cancer Treatment Stratification) and the national program SEHOP-PENCIL (Personalised mEdiciNe for Cancer in chILdren in Spain).
